The opportunity

Unity’s XR team enables Unity creators to target the latest XR devices. You’ll be responsible for developing and maintaining the XR Companion Apps, MARS, and other XR features alongside a team of hardworking, talented software engineers and designers. To learn more about the Unity XR Companion Apps, we have a blog post which goes into more detail on the MARS Companion App specifically. Or you can check out the forum announcement and try out the app, currently in open beta. You and the team will be responsible for continued development of a standalone product that will be available on major app stores and will help expose new types of users to Unity for the first time. The Unity Companion Apps are a key part of Unity XR workflows for developers and their clients, and the technology you build will serve as the basis for a broad suite of authoring and collaboration applications for spatial computing.

As a senior engineer you will be responsible for writing Unity C# code, collaborating with designers on implementing 2D and spatial UI, and building and testing Unity builds for smartphones and standalone XR devices. You are expected to be familiar with the Unity GUI system (uGUI) and traditional Unity development with GameObjects and MonoBehaviours. Not only are we building the companion apps with Unity, but these are tools for building Unity applications, so a deep understanding of and empathy for our users is crucial.

What you’ll be doing

• Develop and maintain the Unity XR Companion Apps.
• Work with the Unity XR team to design and implement features for XR authoring.
• Learn and maintain understanding of the latest XR technologies and features.
• Work with the entire engineering team to ensure consistency and proper flow between features in Unity MARS, AR Foundation, the Unity editor and the companion apps.
• Learn and help define future-facing Unity features like UI Toolkit and the Runtime Authoring Framework

What we’re looking for

• Unity development experience required.
• Demonstrated interest in XR, either through professional experience or personal projects.
• Experience with Unity GUI, both in Editor and runtime applications
• Familiarity or professional experience in C#, C++, and platform APIs (Android, iOS, Magic Leap, Hololens, etc.).
• Familiarity with developing cloud/connected application development (REST APIs, etc.)

You might also have

• A true passion for, and enjoyment of, spatial computing. The entire team is united in our shared interest for the future of human-computer interaction and how XR can help.
• Mixed reality development, personal or professional, is a significant bonus.
• Speaking experience is useful as we often give talks, both internally and externally.
• Experience with product demos and prototyping is a plus.
